Purple Sandpiper Audubon Bird Print - Plate 284John James Audubon

This vintage Purple Sandpiper print reproduces plate 284 from John James Audubon's nineteenth-century Birds of America, restored as historical wall art for studies, coastal interiors and natural-history gallery walls.

Three shorebirds gather along a rocky water's edge in this wide composition. Two purple-gray birds with finely scalloped wings occupy the right-hand rocks, while a smaller brown-and-white companion leans toward the water at left. Their contrasting poses, slender bills and delicately drawn feathers sit above the original engraved title and specimen labels, retaining the character of Audubon's coastal bird study.

Archive Print Co. restores each illustration for clarity while preserving the character of the original. Each reproduction is printed as a giclée art print on heavyweight 325gsm archival matte paper with archival inks.

Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece; the print will always be richer in person.
